For example, Fedora mirrors always default to Japan, which is on the other side of the world, and extremely slow... It has become even more painful, now that it seems to be auto-updating... It took me a while to find and disable this...

This is why I prefer ""do-it-yourself" distros where you build it yourself piece by piece.

I don’t want to get people too excited, but my email letting FOSDEM know about those conference videos I’m posting on PeerTube has started a positive discussion on their mailing lists about possibly supporting the platform. 🤩

I will continue uploading as planned for now as it may not happen, and even if it does there’s still value in not having to manually sift through every video yourself to find the good ones. 👍

Why do markdown text editing apps on Android almost always have their own special directory to read from? Is it a security permission issue? This breaks the "open with" functionality from other apps, which is a notable inconvenience.

Anyway, I finally found Markor, which has been awesome for my use-case, and doesn't have the directory restriction.
